FAQs
How do energy-efficient metal panels help reduce my utility bills in Sequatchie?
Our cool-roof metal panels are coated with high-reflectivity finishes that bounce back up to 70% of the sun’s radiant heat instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles. In Sequatchie’s warm, humid summers this can lower attic temperatures by 30–40°F, allowing your HVAC system to run less often and trimming cooling costs by 10–25%. The panels also have high emissivity, meaning they release any absorbed heat quickly once the sun sets, providing round-the-clock energy savings.
Are metal roofing panels suitable for Sequatchie’s weather conditions?
Yes. Sequatchie County experiences heavy rain, high winds during spring storms, and occasional snowfall. Our interlocking 26- or 24-gauge steel and aluminum panels are rated to withstand 140 mph winds, are UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistant against hail, and shed snow rapidly thanks to their sleek surface. The baked-on finish resists humidity-driven corrosion, making metal an ideal long-term roofing choice for the Sequatchie climate.
What energy ratings or certifications do your metal panels carry?
The panels meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® ‘Cool Roof’ requirements for steep-slope roofs. They also comply with Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values recommended by LEED v4, helping homeowners qualify for possible tax credits or local utility rebates when available. All coatings are Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000® PVDF, tested to ASTM E903 and C1549 for solar reflectance and thermal emissivity.
How long do energy-efficient metal roofs last compared to traditional shingles?
A properly installed metal panel roof lasts 40–70 years; premium systems can exceed 80 years with minimal maintenance. Conventional asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15–25 years in Sequatchie’s climate. That means you may replace a shingle roof two or even three times before a metal roof needs attention, saving thousands on future tear-offs and landfill fees.
Will installing a metal panel roof increase the value of my Sequatchie home?
National remodeling studies show that metal roofing can recoup 60–85% of its cost at resale. Buyers appreciate the curb appeal, longevity, and documented energy savings. Local real-estate agents in Sequatchie report faster sales and higher offers on homes with metal roofs because new owners expect decades of maintenance-free performance and lower energy bills.
What is the installation process and how long does it take for an average Sequatchie residence?
After a free on-site inspection, we custom-measure and fabricate panels to match your roof profile. On installation day we remove the old roofing (if needed), inspect decking, install underlayment and optional radiant barrier, then secure the interlocking metal panels with concealed fasteners. A typical 2,000 sq ft Sequatchie home is completed in 2–3 days, weather permitting. Our crews keep the jobsite clean and perform a final magnetic nail sweep before leaving.
